Tai'kou has completed Dark vs. Light Legacy (reaching level 50, complete 3 specific flash points).

Chapter XVI: The Battle of Odessen
Early Access on July 26th

The event armor reward which grants bonuses to xp is unusual in that does not have an armoring slot but does have slots for mod and enhancements. Its built in armor rating, mystery and edurance is very good but still not as good as armor Tai'kou has gotten from flashpoints. So he passed the 3 pieces he's gotten so far to another lower level character and even with out mod or enhancement it will be better than what they have because its built in armor, mastery and endurance is so high.I think thats the point. Its to help your next event character give it a head start, not so much your first one which is level 50 when you start gettng the armor. Once you put a mod or enhancement on that only a character at the level of the mod or enhancement can use the armor piece.

For some parts of the event acheivments I need a republic character so Egreess the smuggler is handling that. Egreess is a misspelling of Egress meaning exit. Once she's accomplished her side of the achievements she will exit the game, ie be deleted. If I was going for Legendary I would have to make 7 more disposable characters. But I'll be happy if I can complete Eternal and get which ever companion is availble at end of the event. They still haven't given an end date, but mu guess is December 31st.


The Dark Vs Light packs randomly give armor pieces, weapons, crystals. I was annoyed at getting a commando blaster cannon until I found out weapons your character cant use automatically added to your collection so you can transfer a copy to a character that can use it. Crystals you have to equip on a weapon then the crystal is added to collection. Armor you have to get the complete set. I'm just the belt away from a particular sith armor set. What the odds of getting it are I don't known. I've gotten half of another set and bits and pieces of several more.

I hope you get your sets completed

When I used to play Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 I tried to figure out what songs would make good theme songs for my characters. Last night at work, bored out of my skull, it suddenly came to me what the perfect theme song is for a lightside sith is.

Wow!

Turns out every new character I summon Nico on counts as an Alert. So even without having started KOTFE I have two Alerts counted because Tai'kou and Egreess both summoned him. I'll still do five real alerts eventually.

Doing all the tactical flash points and two rounds of PVP got Tai'kou to level 54 without even completing the first sith warrior chapter.

It's great it's working out for you!

Dark vs Light event is bugged, but not for everybody. For some people and that includes me, Depths of Menaan flashpoint wont check off as completed which makes getting Chamption level impossible.

Boo! Darkside is ahead by 2%.

Coming late july final chapter of Knights of the Fallen Empire

Hope they get it fixed for you!

Twi'leks In Love

Tai'kou has completed Valiant Level for the Dark vs. Light event. Reached level 65. Completed sith warrior chapters 1-3, Shadow of Revan, Rise of the Emperor, Knights of the Fallen Empire chapters 1-9. For Champion just needs to complete chpters 10-16. Sixteen isn't available until end of the month. For Eternal still working on getting Egreess to level 65. Then will still need round 5 of Eternal Champion. Haven't started that yet.

During chapter 9 of Knights of the Fallen Empire there s a cut scene in a catina, featuring your character, Lana Beniko, Theron Shan, Koth Vortena and Senya Tirall. If you have Nico Okarr, Treek or HK-51 they make brief appearances. Tai'kou has all three. So he got Nico saying "I'll drink to that", Treek leaving because there is nothing to hunt and Tora confusing HK-51 with HK-55. HK-51 doesn't know what a "meatbag" is.

Sounds like you're making good progress in the game. Thanks for the info about chapter nine.

Egreess reached level 65, needed for Eternal. With some difficulty Tai'kou finished round 5 of Eternal Champion. So when he completes all the Knights of the Fallen Empire chapters that will complete Champion and Eternal levels. Thats enough to get the new companion.

The new companion should be interesting.

Is it only Guybrush and me, that plays SWTOR?

It seems that way, although we probably have many lurkers who are players of the game.

Information for anyone lurking - doing the flashpoint Depths of Manaan for the Champion level of the Dark vs Light Event.
If you do it Solo make sure to only get the last boss in fire ONE time to lower shield, after that do NOT pull him into fire again and kill him that way or it won't register.

Good information, misslilo. Thanks!

The lighside has rallied and score is now reversed 51% light, 49% dark.

Go, lightside, go

Thanks for the info

I don't know if its because they want light to win but I keep seeing people call the event "Light vs. Dark" but in the game and on swtor.com its "Dark vs. Light". Which probably tells you the developers preference. I want light to win but I recognize the events actual name.

Still no official comment, but according to another player, the bug in Depths of Menaan flash point is the fire you can get the end boss to stand in. Normally the strategy is to get the boss damage itself by walking through the flames but according to this other player you should only do that once, to remove its shield. After that stay out of thw fire because the Dark vs Light achievement doesn't recognize the fire killing the boss as you killing it. This makes the end boss harder.

Makes sense
